Do you people with GPS units (either panel mounted or portable) use only
them when you fly, or do you plan the same route on a map as well and plot
your position in flight, for backup in case the unit looses pickup? I've
recently seen the SR-22 panel and some Lancair models and it got me
wondering whether aside from all these hi-tech gadgets people still use
the
good old roadmap.

I always use charts. I usually fly IFR and use low alt enroute charts. A
trip
usually takes 1 to 3 charts that I prefold into 11x11 squares with my route
showing, and clip them together in order of use in a neat package that lays
on my lap. The portable GPS sits on top of them, serving also as a
paperweight.
I usually also have sectionals in the flight bag.
